It isn’t necessary to have great things to lay your Christmas table.
Use a white table cloth and arrange some branches with red berries  on it. Choose the more suitable  places not to disturb your guests. Another idea: scatter some little red balls on the table or slices of dried oranges. If you can’t give up a more decorated table look at other ideas in our website in our website.
Place cards are important on the Christmas table especiallly when there are a lot of guests. Take a white or red card and write the name of your guest by your hand. Put it on the left of the plates and place a little Christmas coloured ball or a slice of dried orange or a little golden cone on it.
Add an elegant touch: write  your personal Christmas greetings  choosing the right words for everyone. An example:
“Best wishes to my loving father. Christmas may be a lovely day as you are”
